Clan House

Five days later, the Ministry of Industry's case was settled.Xiong Yukun is hugely corrupt, and the things involved are not only corruption in the procurement process, but also many people were killed in the project.Jin Wang just looked through a list by accident, but Gong Wen seemed to have some deep hatred with the Ministry of Industry, and what he explained was shocking.The Ministry of Industry under Xiong Yukun's leadership was rotten to the bone.Emperor Xuanqing was furious and sentenced Xiong Yukun to execution.The next three servants dismissed two, and the remaining one was able to take the crime and make meritorious service because it was at the critical moment of water control.Then the next four divisions, from the doctor to the principal, were punished, but due to the vacancy of personnel, only the salary was fined, and they were allowed to take the post.

As soon as this incident happened, Emperor Xuanqing began to have a headache, which lasted for more than ten days.The Ministry of Industry lacked the officials in charge, and it became a mess. Several doctors couldn't decide what to do, so they wrote all the books and sent them to the imperial court.Emperor Xuanqing was so annoyed that he wanted to arrange a Minister of the Ministry of Industry, but the Ministry of Industry was full of low-level officials who were guilty.

On this day, Emperor Xuanqing summoned the cabinet to discuss matters in Qianqing Palace.Song Jingshi was dressed in a moon-white python robe, with a straight figure and a graceful demeanor.Emperor Xuanqing thought about his son's performance after entering the court, and was quite satisfied in his heart, so he immediately had an idea.

"Jingshi, the household department will be released in advance," Emperor Xuanqing ordered, "the king of Jin will take the post of Minister of the Ministry of Industry temporarily, and will be in charge of the Ministry of Industry."

The crown princess is too young, so she didn't publicize her pregnancy.Emperor Xuanqing was very happy when he learned about it, and rewarded him with many things to the East Palace, and found a special day to visit Concubine Wen Gui, who had fallen out of favor.

On the second day, Song Yi "recovered" and entered the palace to face the saint.As expected, Emperor Xuanqing was in a good mood. Instead of nesting in the Qianqing Palace as usual, he moved to the Imperial Garden and opened Fangyixuan to enjoy the snow.Song Yi hadn't been to the Imperial Garden for several years, and he followed the guidance of the servants all the way, without squinting, as if he had never been in the palace.

Approaching Fangyixuan, Song Yi stopped and waited for the emperor to call.From a distance, he saw someone accompanying the emperor.

"Which lady is accompanying you?"

"Returning to Your Highness, it is the imperial concubine and the fifth princess."

The imperial concubine is Wen Shi, the biological mother of the crown prince and King Jin, and the daughter of the Ning'an Houfu.She is an old man beside Emperor Xuanqing, and she still has charm after having given birth to two children, and she is a beauty in anyone's eyes.It's a pity that the most indispensable thing in the harem is beauties, and Emperor Xuanqing only loves young colors.Fortunately, she has children by her side, and the princess is pregnant now, and the King of Jin has made great achievements after entering the court. Emperor Xuanqing naturally gave the master of Jingren Palace a high regard.

The fifth princess was the child of Emperor Xuanqing's filial piety. His birth mother was poor and died of dystocia, and she was left in the prince's house under the care of the mother.Song Yi saw Concubine Wengui holding the fifth princess, thinking that this person won the emperor's heart again, and wanted to raise the princess.

Sometimes Song Yi couldn't understand Emperor Xuanqing, wondering if he was really stupid or pretending to be stupid.He relied on Gu Li to sit on the throne, but faced Empress Gu, he didn't even bother to deal with it. He just didn't enter the Kunning Palace all year round. He elevated the status of a concubine to such a high level, where did the childless empress put her face? .

While meditating, the emperor called, Song Yi stopped his slander, and went in to pay his respects.

Emperor Xuanqing accepted King Chu's kneeling, but Concubine Wen Gui didn't dare to sit down, so she stood up and avoided it.Afterwards, he stood in his original position and was half-respected by the king of Chu, but he had to return the salute.

"I don't know that the empress is here, it's because the minister is abrupt." Song Yi said.

"It's okay," Emperor Xuanqing waved his hand, "Show the emperor a seat."

After Song Yi sat down, Concubine Wen Gui sat down next to the emperor again, and looked at the little patriarch's order curiously. "Chan'er, I have seen your imperial uncle."

Song Sichan's gaze was exactly the same as that of the imperial concubine, and she even tilted her head cutely, studying the short elder who suddenly appeared. "Chan'er has seen the emperor's uncle."

Song Yi saw that she was dressed up beautifully, which showed that Concubine Wen Gui took care of her very carefully. "I see that the fifth princess looks good, and I think she will be in good health." Song Yi stopped looking at the mother and daughter, and only said to the emperor, "I don't know that the princess is here, but I am not ready to meet. Some of the beads bestowed by the empress do not need to be used by the minister himself, and they will be embedded in the longevity lock and sent to Jingren Palace some other day."

Concubine Wen Gui took the fifth princess to thank her, and then she left.However, Song Yi saw that Emperor Xuanqing had no intention of asking the concubine to avoid him, so he took the initiative to say: "I have no state affairs here, they are all family affairs within the clan, and it's okay for the imperial concubine to listen."

Emperor Xuanqing took the teacup handed over by the imperial concubine and took a sip, as if he had forgotten that he had summoned the King of Chu: "Why is Uncle Wang thinking of entering the palace today?"

"I'm guilty, I'm here to plead guilty to His Majesty." Song Yi knelt down on the ground again.

"Hey, what's wrong with the emperor's uncle?"

"As the patriarchal order, I failed to restrain the juniors and allowed King Xunyang to make troubles in the Ministry of Industry. This is my negligence. Please forgive me."

The patriarch Ling in front of him is ten years old, and his height is not as high as an adult's chest. Emperor Xuanqing thought of King Xunyang's bearded appearance, and he felt amused in his heart. His emperor's uncle called "junior" really fluently. "King Xunyang didn't tell his uncle before he went out. If the uncle doesn't know, it's not a crime. Don't blame yourself." Emperor Xuanqing tilted his head, and Concubine Wen Gui fed him a mouthful of oranges, and by the way stuffed a piece into the five he wanted to talk. Princess mouth. "According to Uncle Huang, how should the Xunyang King deal with it?"

"King Xunyang's trip has lost the face of the royal family, and it is not appropriate to take the position of Zuo Zongzheng again." Song Yi raised his upper body and knelt up straight. "I think that he should be dismissed from his official position and punished according to the precepts of the ancestors."

Emperor Xuanqing glanced at Song Yi indifferently, met the boy's clear eyes, and then smiled and said: "Uncle, you can talk about it, what are you doing kneeling, get up quickly, I said that I will not blame the uncle." Stop reaching out to help.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Song Yi stood up with the help of the young eunuch, but did not sit down again. "But there is still one thing. The Zuo Zongzheng position cannot be vacant. Now within the clan, only King Qin and King Wei are qualified to hold this position."

The corner of Emperor Xuan Qing's eyes twitched, the scene of seizing the throne was vivid in his memory, he wished that the two brothers would die of old age in the palace.

"Your Majesty?" Song Yi asked tentatively, "What's wrong?"

"Let me think about the selection of candidates," Emperor Xuanqing said, "I will share more with the hard work of the Emperor's House."

"Yes," Song Yi nodded, "Then how will Xunyang King deal with it?"

"The King of Xunyang fined him three years' salary and one month's confinement." Emperor Xuanqing frowned, as if he felt that such punishment was not enough to relieve his anger.

"If Your Majesty thinks the punishment is too light, King Xunyang will not learn a lesson." Song Yi reminded empathetically, "It is better to demote him to be a member of the Youzong family first, and the vacant positions will be filled in turn. After the candidates are agreed, the Youzongren will be replaced It can be replaced."

Emperor Xuanqing thought about it, and this method is indeed feasible.It's just that the Zongrenling, Zongzheng, and Zongren of the Zongren Mansion are all top-notch, such dismissal is nothing but a level exchange, and it has no deterrent effect at all.He had an intuition that the King of Chu had tricked him, and he couldn't think of any other way, so he had to give up. "Just follow the emperor's wishes."

"The minister leads the decree," Song Yi bowed, "There is one more thing, I hope His Majesty will approve it."

In the East Palace, Song Jingxin stayed with the princess for a few days, and finally couldn't bear the boredom and ran out.The Crown Princess didn't bother with him either, and adapted well to the Prince's inconsequential temper.Xiaokong was locked up in Chu Palace for a month, but he has also been released back.Song Jingxin came to Yingfang with joy, and was thrown into his arms by his long-lost son.

Xiaokong is still Xiaokong, with the same mouth and the same feathers. "Even if the king of Chu has a conscience and didn't abuse me, he seems to be getting fatter." Song Jingxin muttered, and untied Xiaokong's feet, "Go, dad will take you out. Take a walk."

Approaching the palace gate, Song Jingxin saw Song Jingshi from a distance and walked out.He twitched the corner of his mouth, and gestured to Xiaokong: "You are quiet." Xiaokong understood, spread his wings and flew into the sky, and then a slam fell on Song Jingshi's head, pecking away her hair crown.

"Ah... Song Jingxin!" Song Jingshi roared angrily. The two of them have been used to this trick of tearing people's hair since they were young. Even with her eyes closed, she knew who was doing it.Song Jingshi was protecting his hair with both hands, and when he saw that the hair crown had fallen off, he slapped Xiaokong angrily.The eagle flapped its wings and flew away, before falling back to Song Jingxin's elbow.

Song Jingshi brushed his messy hair behind him, waved away the hand of the servant who came to serve him, and turned to look at Song Jingxin.Then he saw the man with a smirk on his face, stroking the eagle's back and whistling.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Hey, what are you talking about? I'm your brother!" Song Jingxin approached, and stretched out his hand to lick his sister's head, "Out of town?"

"No," Song Jingshi deftly dodged the attack, "What time is it, are you going to spend the night outside?"

"How good is this?" Song Jingxin kicked against the palace wall, "I was just caught by the emperor's uncle, and now I don't dare to play in the city... How about we go to Wicker Street to eat pot?"

Song Jingshi wanted to refuse at first, but thinking about not seeing his brother Huang for a long time, he said, "Success, I'll call Shang Zhenzhen together..."

"What are you thinking!" Song Jingxin yelled, "Both brothers drink with their wives!"

"What, where is this..." Song Jingshi felt speechless, but then he thought that his brother and Zhenzhen were not familiar with each other, and there were many rules between men and women, so he had to give up the proposal just now. "Then I'll send someone back to the mansion to tell you that I've agreed to go back to have dinner in the morning."

"I really can't tell, but you are a strict wife." Song Jingxin teased.

"What..." Song Jingshi kicked his brother.

"Where is Xiao Kong, follow along?"

"Let's take it out to let the wind out, it's a closed door," Song Jingxin stroked Xiaokong's wings, and suddenly remembered something, "Oops! It's over, it's going to die!"

"what happened?"

"Uncle Huang made a snow sculpture, and I saw it was an eagle, so I jokingly begged it for Xiaokong to see..."

Song Jingshi's eyes widened: "The emperor's uncle knows how to make snow sculptures, so give them back to you? When did you two get along so well?"

"Hey, don't interrupt..." Song Jingxin grabbed her sister's shoulders with both hands, shaking back and forth, "I heard later that the Crown Princess was so happy that she got pregnant, so I ran back to the East Palace. I forgot to take that snow sculpture..."

Song Jingshi opened his elder brother's hand, and silently lit a pure white candle for him in his heart: "I'm afraid the snow sculpture has melted, and it may be too late for you to go back and look for it now."

Song Jingxin wailed for a while: "You said I should hide for a few days, until he forgets..."

"Don't think about it," Song Jingshi patted his brother on the shoulder, interrupting his unrealistic fantasy in time, "Our second grandfather is only ten years old, and he is still far away from dementia. You just wait, unless he leaves Beijing soon. Fan, otherwise I will never let you go!"

"Uncle Huang wants to leave Beijing?" In Qianqing Palace, Emperor Xuanqing looked at the King of Chu in front of him, showing surprise.

"Yes," Song Yi replied, "The teacher my father hired for my minister used to go home to visit relatives at the beginning of the year, but he got a sudden illness, and he is still not recovering. The master has taught me for many years, and I am worried, and want to go and see .”

The vassal king has no purpose and cannot enter and leave the capital at will. Any emperor would be vigilant when he hears that the prince is going to leave the capital. Emperor Xuanqing was also very surprised at this time.Normally, Emperor Xuanqing would consult with Gu Li when encountering unresolved matters. According to Gu Li's scheming, he must be vigilant.But now he was tired of the old man pointing fingers, and because of the matter of the Ministry of Industry, he had doubts in his heart, so he didn't trust this man as usual.Emperor Xuanqing rubbed his temples, thought for a while, and still felt that Song Yi was just a child and could not cause any trouble.

"The road is not easy right now, and the emperor's uncle is not in a hurry to come back when he arrives. I remember that the emperor's uncle's fief is also in Wuchang Mansion. Why don't you take the opportunity to repair the palace over there, and it doesn't hurt to stay longer."

"Your Majesty, is this the minister's request? Thank you, Your Majesty!" Song Yi knelt down to thank him, unable to hide his joy. "I don't dare to stay for a long time, I still need to deal with the errands of the clan's mansion."

Seeing that he was very happy and did not intend to stay for a long time, Emperor Xuanqing believed in him even more.This appearance is really worried for the teacher, and it doesn't seem to be secretly acting. "It's good to leave the official affairs to Zuo Zongzheng. A group of old men can't handle the errands of the clan mansion?" Emperor Xuanqing made up his mind, if he could use this opportunity to let the king of Chu take the domain in advance, it would be a good thing.

"Lovely, Your Majesty," Song Yi replied humbly, "The minister took the opportunity to play in Chu for a few days, and communicated with several county kings on official business, and always came back before editing the jade document."

Emperor Xuanqing calculated in his heart that the Yushu was revised every ten years. The last major revision was in Ningde for 45 years, and there are still three years before the next revision.In this way, we will wait until the day of editing is near before we make any calculations.
